It’s Wednesday already, so welcome to this week’s Reading Roundup post. Last week I wrote about my love of the author Guy Gavriel Kay’s books and decided to re-read a couple of series that I hadn’t looked at for years.

I read The Sarantine Mosaic series and really enjoyed it, discovering aspects of the story and characters that I had forgotten over the years. After that I intended to move on to Kay’s first books: The Fionavar Tapestry, but instead decided to take a break and pick up a book from a more recent series I have been reading…

Yes, another book in The Riyria Chronicles: The Disappearance of Winter’s Daughter by Michael J Sullivan. Here is the blurb…

“A daughter vanishes. Two rogues are paid a fortune to find her. It isn’t enough. When Gabriel Winter’s daughter mysteriously disappears and is presumed dead, the wealthy whiskey baron seeks revenge. Having lived in Colnora during the infamous Year of Fear, he hires the one man he knows can deliver a bloody retribution – the notorious Duster. Ride with Royce and Hadrian as the cynical ex-assassin and idealistic ex-mercenary travel to a mysterious old-world city filled with nobles claiming descent from the imperial aristocracy. Riyria’s job appears discover what happened to the missing duchess and, if she lives, bring her home . . . if not, punish those responsible. But nothing is simple in the crowded, narrow, mist-filled streets of Rochelle, where more than one ancient legend lurks.”

Once again, I really enjoyed this book and I am sure that I will read more by this writer in the future. This is my response on Goodreads…

The Disappearance of Winter’s Daughter by Michael J. Sullivan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another terrific book in a terrific series! I love the relationship between the two main characters as it continues to develop. Their conversations are funny and very well written. The plot this time seemed to start quite slowly, but it developed into a tremendous crescendo of exciting twists and turns.

Sullivan is rapidly becoming one of my favourite authors for his ability to write such entertaining and exciting books that distract me from my day to day worries and concerns.

Now, I think I will return to Fionavar…

Happy Reading to you all!

Love and best wishes,
